not entirely true. if you get a base LS, or even a 1LT, for say $24k(ive seen them as low as 19k for an LS and 22 for an LT) and spend roughly 6k on a supercharger, with install and dyno, you will be putting out SS crank HP, at your wheels. for LESS then an SS model. Also take in to consideration insurance, which is lower then an SS.

So depending what you do, it can actually be considerably less then buying an SS. However, supercharge an SS and you got FTW. haha.

You would have to keep the boost somewhat low on a V6, unless you plan on swapping out internals, transmission and a new rear end, which will add up as well.

just imagine the shock and awe factor when someone sees the V6 model roast an SS, or a shleby, srt8 or whatever.
